Chilarai

Shukladhwaj, or more popularly Chilarai (Assamese: চিলাৰায় Bengali: চিলারায়), was the younger brother of Nara Narayana, the king of the Kamata kingdom in the 16th century. He was Nara Narayana's commander-in-chief, and he got his name Chilarai because his movement as a general was as fast as a chila (kite). Chilarai is known to have descended from the powerful founder of the Koch dynasty of Kamatapur, Viswa Simha. His mother, Padmavati, was from the country called Gaur.
